There’s nothing like gathering around a beautiful solid oak dining table.

The warmth, the grain, the character — it’s a centrepiece, a storyteller, and the heart of the home.

But let’s be honest…

Life happens at the dining table.

Hot mugs are put down without coasters.

Glasses spill mid-conversation.

Kids get creative with tomato sauce (or felt-tips!)

Sunday roasts arrive fresh from the oven.

And your table shouldn’t panic — and neither should you.

That’s exactly why our oak dining tables come with a heat- and stain-proof finish designed for real homes, real families and real life moments.

Protected Without Losing That Natural Oak Beauty

 

We believe your dining table should look like oak, feel like oak — and stand up to everyday living.

Our specialist finish gives you:

• Heat resistance — everyday use without worrying about rings

• Stain protection — wine, coffee, sauces… wipe and relax

• A natural look — still beautifully tactile, never plasticky

• Low-maintenance living — enjoy, don’t fuss

 

So whether you’re hosting Christmas lunch or enjoying a quiet coffee before school runs, your table is ready.

There’s something special about a room designed for focus, calm and creativity — and this bespoke study installation is a perfect example of what thoughtful, handcrafted furniture can bring to a home.

Built and finished by our team here at Con-Tempo Furniture in Warminster, this made-to-measure wall unit brings together traditional craftsmanship, modern practicality, and a colour that has fast become a client favourite: Farrow & Ball ‘Green Smoke’.

A Study Built Around Real Homes & Real Life

 

Every home — and every work style — is different. That’s why this project began with a conversation, a sketch, and a clear goal:

Create a timeless, organised study space that feels warm, elegant and functional.

The result?

A full-height wall unit featuring:

✅ Classic shaker door detailing

✅ Adjustable open shelving for books, decor, and personal touches

✅ Lower cabinetry with soft-close mechanisms to discreetly store office essentials

✅ Tongue-and-groove backboards for depth and character

✅ Hand-finished craftsmanship throughout

The unit sits proudly within the space: strong, elegant and designed to last a lifetime. It’s not just storage — it’s a statement of how a home workspace should feel.

A Colour That Brings Calm and Confidence

 

 

At Con-tempo Furniture, we believe storage should be as beautiful as it is practical. Our latest workshop creation – a bespoke solid oak shelving unit – is the perfect example of how thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship can transform a simple idea into a standout feature for the home.

Modern Design, Timeless Oak

Made from premium grade European oak, this piece showcases the natural warmth and character of solid wood. The stepped, asymmetric layout offers a striking contemporary twist on traditional shelving, making it equally suited as a statement room divider or as a practical storage solution against a wall. Each panel is carefully joined and hand-finished by our in-house team, ensuring long-lasting strength and a flawless finish.

Built Around Your Needs

What makes this shelving unit truly special is its made-to-measure design. No two homes are the same, and our customers often need furniture tailored to their space. Whether it’s maximising storage, fitting into an alcove, or creating a bespoke display unit for books and décor, our team works closely with you to bring your vision to life.

Craftsmanship You Can See

From the precise joints to the smooth finish, every detail reflects the care and experience of our makers. By keeping production on-site in Warminster, we can guarantee both the quality of materials and the craftsmanship. We don’t believe in flat-pack or mass-produced furniture – instead, we create pieces designed to last for generations.

At Con-Tempo Furniture, we’ve always believed your home should be a reflection of your personality – and sometimes that means stepping away from the safe world of neutrals and embracing a little colour. Our Lusso bedroom collection has always been a customer favourite for its timeless design, made-to-measure flexibility, and exceptional craftsmanship. Now, it’s making a statement in the stunning Gallery Rouge finish.

A Splash of Personality

 

The rich red tones of Gallery Rouge bring warmth and vibrancy to any bedroom, creating a space that feels both inviting and full of character. Perfect for those who want furniture that’s not just practical but also a centrepiece in their home.

Storage Meets Style

 

Pictured here is our 2+2 chest of drawers alongside the gents wardrobe chest – two versatile pieces that blend functionality with style. The chest of drawers offers generous space for clothing and accessories, while the gents wardrobe chest combines drawers with a tall cupboard, perfect for hanging shirts, jackets, or storing bulkier items. Both pieces are finished with sleek brushed handles that complement the bold colour beautifully.

Crafted in Wiltshire

 

Like all of our furniture, these Lusso pieces are designed and built in our workshop right next to our Warminster showroom. Every piece can be tailored to your requirements – whether that’s adjusting dimensions, choosing alternative finishes, or matching to your favourite paint colour. With 12 oak finishes, endless paint choices, and a variety of handles, the Lusso collection offers complete flexibility.

Why Choose Lusso?

 

• Made-to-measure options – ideal for awkward spaces or bespoke layouts.

• Durable construction – built to last by our skilled team.

• Customisable finishes – match to any Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, or RAL colour.

• Timeless design – furniture that’s practical and stylish in equal measure.

 

If you’re looking to add a little drama to your bedroom, the Lusso range in Gallery Rouge might just be the perfect choice. Come and see it for yourself in our Warminster showroom – we’d love to help you create a space that feels truly yours.

At Con-Tempo Furniture, we’re always inspired by the way our customers use their homes. More and more, living spaces are being asked to do double duty — dining rooms that need to become workspaces, spare bedrooms that double as guest rooms and studies, and living areas that need to stay both stylish and practical.

That’s where the Ora Desk with Hidden Chair comes in.

A Sideboard by Day, a Desk by Night

On first glance, the Ora Desk looks like a sleek, modern oak sideboard, handcrafted in our Warminster workshops using a blend of natural oak and contemporary design details. Its clean lines and neat storage make it a beautiful addition to any dining room or open-plan space.

But the real magic happens when it’s time to work. Inside, a smartly hidden chair slides out, turning this piece into a functional desk. When the day is done, the chair tucks seamlessly back in, keeping the room tidy and clutter-free.

Designed for Dual Purposes

This design is perfect for those who need their dining room to serve as both a stylish entertaining space and a practical home office. With more people working from home, flexibility is essential, and the Ora Desk offers exactly that — without compromising on looks.

Handmade in Wiltshire

Like all of our furniture, the Ora Desk is made here in our workshops next to our showroom in Warminster, Wiltshire. Every piece is built to order by our skilled team, using genuine oak and finished to the highest standards. Customers can also choose from a range of finishes to suit their home.

Delivered to Our Customers

We recently delivered this beautiful desk to one of our long-standing customers, who wanted a piece that blended seamlessly into their dining room while offering the practicality of a home office setup. It’s always a pleasure to see our designs being used in real homes — making everyday life that little bit easier.

If you’re looking for furniture that combines style, practicality, and craftsmanship, the Ora Desk with Hidden Chair is a perfect choice.

At Con-Tempo Furniture, we love helping our customers create bedrooms that combine timeless style, practical storage, and long-lasting comfort. Our latest installation featured a stunning mix of oak bedroom furniture from our Quercus Collection, alongside one of our brand-new Wiltshire mattresses, handmade locally for exceptional quality and support.

Handcrafted Oak Bedroom Furniture

 

The centrepiece of this bedroom is the Quercus Oxford King Size Bed, built in solid oak and finished with a natural oil that highlights the wood’s beautiful grain. On either side, we placed large oak bedside tables, offering generous storage with a clean and modern design.

To complete the room, we added a bespoke 3+2 chest of drawers – made to measure in our Wiltshire workshop. With smooth lines, durable construction, and plenty of storage space, it’s a perfect example of the quality and practicality our oak bedroom furniture offers.

Introducing the Wiltshire Mattress Collection

 

We’re also proud to introduce our Wiltshire Orthopaedic Mattress, part of our brand-new mattress range, made locally here in Wiltshire. Designed for long-lasting comfort and support, each mattress is carefully crafted to pair beautifully with our handmade oak beds. By keeping production close to home, we maintain outstanding quality while supporting local craftsmanship.

Five years ago, one of our customers chose our Impello bedroom furniture collection, including beautifully handcrafted wardrobes and a matching chest of drawers. Designed and made in our Wiltshire workshop, the range has stood the test of time – offering both practicality and timeless style.

Recently, the customer got back in touch with a request many of us can relate to: “We love our wardrobes, but we need more storage.”

A Seamless Upgrade

 

Our solution was to design and build bespoke top storage boxes to sit perfectly above their existing wardrobes. By matching the colour, finish, and handles exactly, the new additions look like they were always part of the original furniture.

This clever addition not only maximises vertical storage space but also keeps the room looking clean and cohesive. No unsightly mismatched boxes or baskets – just a seamless, tailored solution that enhances the furniture they already loved.

The Beauty of Made-to-Measure Furniture

 

One of the biggest advantages of choosing made-to-measure furniture is flexibility. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our furniture can evolve with your needs. Whether it’s adding more drawers, upgrading finishes, or creating extra storage years later, we can adapt your furniture to suit your lifestyle.

At Con-Tempo Furniture, every piece is crafted in our workshop next to our showroom in Warminster, Wiltshire. We take pride in offering not only beautifully made British furniture but also the reassurance that we’ll be here if you ever want to expand or refresh your pieces in the future.

Ready to Maximise Your Storage?

 

If you’re looking for a smarter way to make the most of your space, why not consider adding bespoke storage solutionsto your home? From wardrobes and chests of drawers to clever built-in units, we can create pieces that blend style with practicality.

At Con-tempo Furniture, every project we deliver is a reflection of our passion for craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and personalised service — and this latest installation is no exception.

Last week, our team delivered and fitted a stunning run of bespoke cabinetry, expertly tailored to a client’s living room feature wall. With its clean lines, smooth sliding doors, and hand-finished oak top, this project highlights what we do best: beautifully made, made-to-measure furniture designed to elevate real homes.

Built to Fit, Made to Last

 

This wall-to-wall storage unit was designed from scratch to suit the exact measurements of the room, allowing for a clean, fitted look without compromising on accessibility or flow. The brief was clear: maximise storage, maintain a minimal look, and complement the warm tones of the existing chevron-panelled feature wall.

The solution?

• Soft-close sliding doors for smooth, space-saving access

• A solid oak top, finished in our specialist oil to highlight the natural grain and provide heat- and stain-resistant protection

• A crisp hand-painted finish in a subtle neutral tone, colour-matched to sit harmoniously within the space

 

Designed, Crafted & Installed by Con-tempo

 

Every piece was handmade in our Warminster workshop, and installation was handled by our in-house team — ensuring continuity, precision, and care from start to finish. It’s this hands-on approach that sets Con-tempo apart.
